It sure was a lie. That doesn't give us license to invent our own as payback. When the left puts out garbage like the Lancet report, why on Earth would we want to give up the intellectual and moral high ground by publishing nonsense of our own?
This isn't lying. that lancet report was lying. This is a demonstration of how REAL statistics can be displayed any way to show what you want. His point is legitimate. 14,000 dead iraqis does not a quagmire make. Is it a apples to apples comparison he's making - no. But he says such if you read his entier article.
who's giving up ANYTHING? Certainly not us- NO death is to be taken lightly- not even the deaths of innocent civilians in countries we're fighting in HOWEVER, these folks have died for a MUCH greater cause that will in the end protect many many times the amount that have died. War sucks as far as casualties- however, if a nation is not willing to make the necessary sacrifices- evil WILL prevail and that is something that IS TRULY unnaceptable concidering hte high cost to both lives and freedoms
Jean Francois Revel diagnosed the democratic disease perfectly when he wrote: “A civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself.”
